Hello there Norin,
welcome to the forum!

arginine, arginine HCL and arginine acetate are quite different.

arginine is an amino acid and: arginine HCL and arginine acetate are modified forms of the amino acid arginine or solutions of the amino acid (arginine in HCL acid).

Hope this is a good start for you

Thank you very much sir, but why do we need to modify arginine, is there some advantage in doing so?
Thank you
